Sažetak	A pilot AB design applies the two-phase baseline-then-intervention structure of the AB single-subject design in an explicitly exploratory or feasibility mode — before committing to a more rigorous reversal or multiple-baseline study. The researcher collects repeated baseline (A) and intervention (B) data from one or a few individuals primarily to test measurement procedures, estimate effect size, verify data stability, and determine whether a stronger single-case design is warranted and feasible.	The multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates functional control by introducing an intervention at staggered time points across two or more baselines — typically across different behaviors, individuals, or settings. Because no withdrawal of treatment is required, it is especially suitable when the target behavior is irreversible or when removing an effective intervention would be unethical.
